Laughing Gulls (Larus atricilla) Bump Heads as they Race for Potato Chip

These Laughing Gulls (Larus atricilla) were caught at a tailgate party before a USF (University of South Florida) Bull's game against the University of Conneticut. They were being fed airborne potato chips by a fan at a parking lot near the Raymond James Stadium at Tampa. It is amasing how these birds communicate about a source of food and how in such a short time tens of seagulls aproximating a hundred joined the feeding frenzy even headsmashing like the ones in this photo. A good article on the Laughling seegull is here in Wikipedia. I had a hard time finding the exact place where these gulls were seen, the reason is that the parking lot where this was shot is located where the Tampa Bay Center Mall was demolished no more than a year ago (2005).
